Savagery in it's most compelling form

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2005)

I have to say I liked this film a lot. It was different than some other horror movies I've seen. Sure, it borrowed from some of George Romero's films, but it still was original in it's own way. I liked the fact that it was filmed digitally. It really gave the movie a gritty, real feeling. The performances were great. Especially Cillian Murphy, as Jim. He fit his character very well. This is the first UK Horror/sci-fi film I've seen, and it was refreshing to get away from typical Teen slashers. I cared about the characters here, to me they were very likable, and realistic. I recommend. It's like Dawn of The Dead meets Lord Of The Flies.
